Col. Andrews, chairman OF the COM
mittee appointed at the citizens meet
ing to arrange for an Interstate drill,
feels somewhat discouraged at the pros
poets Of success. The committee was to
have held meeting this morning, but
only one member appeared, and OF course
it was signal failure. The fact that
there are other enterprises on the tapis
with more permanent footing seems to
have absorbed all interest In the inter-
state drill. The prospective affair at
Austin also detracts from San Antonio,

The Virginidn Of last week echoes
the partisan twaddle of the Post and
walls through column of it's valua-
BILE space over the appointment of
Mr.. Moreland as Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Monongalia county. Accord
ing to these able advocates of non
partisan judicial appointments, it
was very wrong and the clearest evil
dence of partisan bias for Judge
Fleming to appoint a superior man
to the vacant Office if the appointee
happened to be democrat; but that
it would have been perfectly right,
and would have shown how indie
pendent of all political considera-
tions was the Judge, if he had ap-
pointed a republican to the office
safely because he vas republican
In fact these organic critics urge in
plain terms that Judge Fleming
should have appointed a republican
to the office ~ because non-parti-

received republican votes when a
candidate for the Bench, he should
have been anxious to make ''slight
return of favor for favor" We sub
nit that Judge Fleming would have
been culpable, indeed, if instead OF
selecting man because of his fitness
and capacity to make good prose
cutor, he had been in the smallest
degree influenced by the puerile po-
litical considerations on which these
narrow minded partisans base their
attacks upon him.

The case Of the State VS.. Nick.
MADEIRA for the murder of Emma
Robinson, rests, at present, upon the
motion Of a new trial made by the
defence. Judge Raymond. Of Fair
mont, opened the argument for the
prisoner on Saturday, with a very
able review Of the evidence of the
law bearing on the case. He was
followed by Mr.. Keck for the State,
and on Monday the argument was
continued by the other counsel in
the case The motion has been con-
tinued until next term. and of course
Judge Fleming has not given any
intimation as to his judgement in
the matter.
While the public have followed,
and are following, these cases with
O. good deal of interest there is no
undue public feeling for or against
the accused. 1t is true that there
is class Of people who believe that
somebody ought to be hung on gen
eral principles" as they express it,
and rather than miss they would
hang somebody ON suspicion if con
elusive proof was lacking. And it
is surprising how numerous this
class is, even in an intelligent com
munity like ours.
But the body of our people are
conservative. They want to see the
criminals who committed this muir
der punished, but at the same time
they want to be sure that we have
the criminals. They want to see
the law enforced, but they recognize
that it would be even q worse viola
ton of the spirit of the law to pun
ish an innocent person than was the
LII uIucl Vi bulS WOuldu lboCii.
1t is all right that the accused
should have every advantage the law
gives him to establish his innocence.
If one trial has not established his
guilt beyond reasonable doubt,
then he ought to have two. A new
trial does not, as some seem to sup
pose, turn him loose, and relieve
him of the accusation. The law still
maintains it's grasp upon him, until
he has proved his innocence, or again
been pronounced guilty. And if he
is really guilty he runs the risk of a
greater penalty; for we believe that
if this horrible crime is fixed beyond
a doubt upon the accused, the next
jury will streatch his neck. On the
other hand if he is innocent every
good citizen will rejoice to see him
establish it.

VICIOUS BULL
Has 1nj ured Six Persons with.

RITcHIE G. H., w. VA, Oct. 28.-
Yesterday evening as Charles Snod-

General Harris farm, was working
around the barn, bull attacked
him, and in the fight Snodgrass was
forced into fence corner, where the
animal gored and kicked him, and
would have killed him had not as
sistance come to the young man.
He sustained severe injuries about
the head, arms and breast, and it
will be some time before he is able
to work. Snodgrass makes about
the sixth victim for the bull within
the last year. all of whom were more
or less injured. The owner, General
Harris, discovered that he wasn't a
Spanish fighter not long since, and
left the field with two or three bro

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Results in the Death of Two Fayette
County Citizens.

Genius of Liberty.
One of the most terrible explosions
in the history of the Brownsville &C.
Cured at 1890 last Friday, October
2lst, making complete wreck of
Porter and Elwood's saw-mill, and
killing two men. The mill was sit
uated on the river bank, in the lower
end of West Brownsville, and was Of
the portable variety. tubular boiler,
etc. The workmen left at noon Fri
day, as usual, everything apparently
being in good condition. In about
half an hour, as the men were hurry
ing back to the mill after dinner,
and one being within one lsndred
yards of it most terrific explosion
occurred. When the cloud of steam,
smoke, dust and fragments Of lum-
Der had cleared away it was seen that
the ground formerly occupied by
the mill was entirely cleared ofevery-
thing, except the logways and that
part of the mill which was built
under ground.
Hundreds of people Immediately
gathered about the wreck, and it was
the general expression, show FORUM
ate it happened just about noon,
otherwise several men would have
been killed." when a great gloom
was thrown over the crowd by some
one finding on the river shore, seven
ty-five yards from the Inflated mill,
the mangled, bleeding and lifeless
form of man whose features were
lacerated beyond recognition. The
body was identified by the clothes
only, as that of William Kelley, of
Luzerne township, this county, a
farm hand, about 38 years old, who
leaves wife and two small children.
1t was then made known that
William Kelley and his brother John
landed a small raft of oak timber in
front of this mill while the hands
were at dinner, and went into the
mill to get warm by the furnace and
wait for the proprietors to return
These being the facts, a search was
made for the body of John Kelley,
which was found out in the river
about 100 yards from the mill. The
body was also horribly mangled,
but the face was plainly recognized
as that of John D. Kelley, also of
Luzerne township, Favette county,
aged "a years, farm hand who leaves
wife and three children.
The great amount of force expend-
ed during the explosion. can be
roughly appropriated from the fact
that large section of the boiler, IL
feet long, containing all the tubes
and weighing about two tons, was
thrown north eighty-tive yards
against tall locust post, which was
torn to splinters. This immense
mass then bounded twenty or thirty
feet, turning completely over. The
furnace door and mud-valve were
thrown 600 feet west, and the fur
mace front fifty yards west. Frag-
ments of lumber were scattered in
every direction.
